Anyone else have a broken IPad 2 screen right out of the box?

It is a Christmas present from my brother.  No box damage.  Corner of IPad looks like it was scuffed on something hard.  Apple service says they'll fix the glass for $350 or send it back to my brother and he can try to return it from wherever he bought it.  Should I just suck it up and pay the money ?

I'd let your brother try to return it first.

  • Anyone else have marks on there screen? and touch issues?

    My iphone right out of the box has issues when needing to slide anything in the right hand corner...ie wifi...bluetooth...settings...
    If i slide any options in middle of screen it works fine its just the top corner area.
    I also noticed a faint white line under the screen...looks like a blemish.
    Help?!

    Did you make sure to take the thin plastic cover/film off of the phone? If not, that could be the issue.

  • Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box?

    Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box? Shouldn't it have 0 because it's brand new.

    Yes it should have 0.  I would return it, that means that the battery has already went through 13 full cycles.  Perhaps they accidentally resold a returned one as new.

  • Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?

    Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number.  Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?  Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

    Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
    Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?

  • HT4060 Ipad 3 Fresh out of the box today, simply does not charge. Thoughts? (other than take it back to apple)

    Ipad 3 Fresh out of the box today, simply does not charge. Thoughts? (other than take it back to apple)

    If it is just out of the box, I would take it straight back to Apple and ask them to fix it.
    Why should you have to mess around with fixing a device?

  • Brand New 30g Video Ipod...dead right out of the box

    So I take my new ipod out of the box and it wont turn on. I plug it up to the outlet charger and the screen lights up but says nothing and does nothing. It makes a little humming noise and gets very very hot also. Plugging it up to computer hasn't helped, it doesn't even light up with it. Anyone have any ideas?

    Welcome to Discussions!
    Have you tried resetting the iPod by holding the Menu and Center buttons?
    If that doesn't change anything, it sounds like you received a defective iPod.
    You can 1) return it to the store or 2)fill out a service request here: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod

  • G580 can't backup right out of the box. Not enough space

    I recently aquired a G580 with the i5 processer, 500gb hard drive and  Win8. I see the lenovo center is telling me to do a backup and since I just set it all up the way I wanted I figured it's a good idea anyway. I follow the instructions and it automatically makes a path to the D drive. I click backup and it say's there isn't enough space?
    Seems my hard drive was partitioned from the factory with only a 25gb (24.9 to be exact) D drive. Now the only thing on the D drive is an applications folder with nortons and a driver folder with what looks to be backups of the OEM drivers. All this takes up 2gb of space. The backup is saying it needs 25.2 gb. So even without those files on the D drive I still wouldn't be able to make a backup.
    I am reading the partitioning thread but I'm lost really. Plus I don't really want to be messing with partitions on a brand new machine out of the box. It seems I might have too though. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Let me suggest a few things. I guess that will clarify few of the doubts.
    1. The factory default image is saved on the OEM partition (hidden). This can be used through One Key recovery for loading factory defaults.
    2. Refer to this link on creating a back up of factory default image. This can be used to get Windows back in case of hard drive failure or replacement. Applies to Ideapads also. Link
    3. The option of creating Backup using the One Key Recovery software is for the current system image and not the factory default image. Hence the size will vary from user to user and I guess the D drive will not be sufficient for this. Anyhow, as you mentioned, creating the backup on external drive makes more sense.
    Hope I was able to clarify few things.

  • Right out of the box...and it KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN!! Help!!

    I received my brand new iMac this afternoon and plugged it in. It was working fine for about two hours, now all of the sudden, the thing will not stop shutting down and powering up. It is almost as if I am jiggling power source on and off, like a flicker, and I am not even touching it. I tried troubleshooting with the cosmetic ring around the power connector - no dice, the computer keeps turning on and off like it's posessed. There is plenty of slack on the power cord so it's not being pulled. I am afraid plug the system in...all that shutting down and powering up can't be good for the system. What should I do?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    If you have checked that the power plug is firmly seated and confirmed that it is, then the only thing to do is to call Apple or take it in.
    If there is a problem with the power supply or logic board, Apple should replace the entire unit. No new Mac fresh out of the box should require repairs.

  • Does anyone else have a glitch? When I click on the top button then slide it, I notice a flash on the screen before the main page shows up. Anyone know about this or seen it?

    I have an Iphone4 from verizon.  This is my 2nd and still has the same problem I am trying to figure out.  To turn on the phone, I press the top button, and then I slide to unlock the phone, i notice a flash before it gets to the main screen. Its a little irritating and it only does it every so often.  I dont know anyone else that has this problem.  I took it to the apple store and they said it may be in between updates.  So they gave me a brand new one for free. At first they said it was because I had a screen protector on the front but that wasnt it, so it remains a mystery. Any ideas?

    When you say turn on the phone, do you mean just unlocking the phone to get to your home screen ( icons)?

  • Does anyone else have a yellow tinted screen on there ip4

  • LaserJet CP2025dn - Tray 1 Jammed - RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX

    I just bought a LaserJet CP2025dn. I followed the set-up instructions through Step 7, and when I powered up the printer, the screen said "Tray 1 jammed, clear jam then press OK" EVEN THOUGH THE THING HAS NEVER BEEN USED. i followed the instructions for clearing a jam, to no avail.
    This is not a very promising introduction to HP products. In fact I'm mad as you-know-what.
    Any suggestions on how to clear a built-jammed Tray 1 on a printer that has never been used?

    Hey Adam,
    Just follow the instructions I provided in your other topic regarding this. Rad is right, as I said in my instructions, it is VERY important to calibrate the battery. Also, the program called Maintenance that I told you to download that, you need to be sure to check the boxes for: Repair Permissions, Execute Maintenance Scripts, Optimize the system - Complete Optimization, ALL of the cleaning boxes, and ALL of the reset boxes except for Reset Spotlight. You should run this application at least once a month.
    Be sure you keep the MacBook box and all of the packaging in case you need to return or exchange it for any reason. Once you have done this, and the other things that I suggested in the other topic, have fun! I'm sure you will love verything about your new MacBook, and I'm sure you will also have a lot of questions. I think you know where to come to get those answered
    Hope this helps.

  • Damaged right out of the box

    Just opened the box containing my black MacBook.
    First thing I did was to turn the machine upside down and press the battery-life indicator button. All five buttons lit up (good!), but I was a bit turned off to see that one of the edges of the case where the battery rests was chewed up a bit, as though a tech had inserted a screwdriver and tried to pry the thing out!
    I called the shop where I bought the thing (Bic Camera, an authorized Apple dealer in Tokyo) and was told, sorry, they don't take back Apple products, and that I'd have to call AppleCare.
    So I thought to myself, well, what's a couple of minor knicks. The thing is going to get scratched eventually anyway. So I decided to live with it.
    That's when I noticed the lid...
    When closed, the lid doesn't line up evenly with the bottom half of the PowerBook. It's off by about an eighth of an inch on the left side and the left top edge. That is NOT acceptable.
    Just called AppleCare, talked to a polite AppleCare representative, and am now awaiting a return call from the rep's "supervisor."
    Given my long experience with Apple products, my guess is that I just happened to get a dud from among what I'm sure are tens of thousands of perfectly built machines. That said, I'm a bit hesitant now to buy the white MacBook that I told my wife I'd get for her this weekend. Not until I know these things weren't simply slapped together...
    My question: Has anyone else purchased a MacBook whose build is less than satisfactory?

    No build problems, but DOA nonetheless. I walked out of the store with one not more than 2 hours ago, and when I got home it was dead within minutes of starting up. Got the spinning wheel of death, but couldn't move it with the mouse. It was completely hung. Gave it 5 minutes, but no luck, and no key/reset combination would unstick it. Had to unplug, but then it wouldn't reboot. (I'm an expert user, and I know that I did absolutely nothing wrong or unkosher, so it was definitely not me.)
    But I'm enough of a believer to give it another go! The machine is sweet, no question about it. I just hope our cases are the rare ones.
